If you cant source one locally, http://www.rollyourfender.com (http://www.rollyourfender.com/) might be your best bet. Cheaper than buying the tool and gives the the right equipment for the job. I've never personally used the site but I have heard good things from friends.

Move slow and use a heat gun. Go small amounts at a time and you shouldnt have issues cracking paint.

just jump right into it and learn for yourself. practice makes perfect man...I just did mine and I had never done it before. They came out alright too. If you give a shit about your paint, I suggest using a heat gun. Otherwise, go nuts lol

I finally did it. And all myself too. I used a mallet and went to town. Worked out alot better than i expected!
